Humans are all different – this can either be a point of celebration or one of frustration. This is usually dependent upon our mindset. Yes, it can be infuriating when you believe that everyone should see the world as you do, however it is unrealistic and provides you with unnecessary angst if you rage against it with little hope of changing peoples’ minds. Accepting others’ opinions and stances (they may be just as informed as – or more than – you!) is a step towards bringing more peace into your life. Of course, global injustices such as poverty and war should not be ignored and passively accepted, but day-to-day things that do not affect you should not clutter up your precious mental space. The most powerful way to influence others? You do you. Be proud and comfortable in your decisions, but try not to jam them down peoples’ throats, because that never tastes good.
